Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 53: Plans for Tang Lin

Qian Renxue?
Tang Lin was completely bewildered; he hadn't expected to still be alive at this point.

Although Qian Renxue was as weak as an ant in front of her own true form, she could easily destroy her.

If one is slashed, one's own body will inevitably suffer severe damage.

If I am severely injured, that guy will definitely be severely injured. I should try to hide myself and find a way to notify the main body before making any preparations.

Damn God of Destruction, Qian Renxue, and Huo Yuhao, you all have your own paths to death.

Xia Die was no exception to this matter. Tang San, you really have a lot of enemies. The God of Destruction and the God of Death are watching you from above, preventing you from interfering with the mortal realm.

In the lower realm, there are a lot of geniuses this year, including Soul Emperors and Soul Kings. You are no match for them. Don't let your Dao Heart be shattered then.

"Brother, Grandpa made the list, why don't you seem happy?"

"What's there to be happy about? What's so great about this old man? What's there to be proud of about being at the bottom of the rankings?"

Meng Hongchen sensed something was wrong and saw Jing Hongchen staring at Xiao Hongchen with a dark expression behind her.

When Jing Hongchen saw Meng Hongchen, his dark expression relaxed considerably.

Jing Hongchen simply made a "shh" gesture to Meng Hongchen.

Meng Hongchen understood immediately.

Brother, you're saying this on the premise that Grandpa isn't here, but you're definitely not getting away with this meal.

“Brother, if you say that about Grandpa, then Grandpa must have some ability to make the list.”

"What's so special about him? Old Deng can't even compare to those Shrek guys."

"Brother, comparing Grandpa to a Limit Douluo is too much. Besides, we, the Sun Moon Empire, have four people on the list, we should be content. It's been several days already, is it really necessary to still be holding a grudge about Grandpa beating you before?"

"Hmph, no way. It's just that old Deng who's being unreasonable. If a genius ranking were to be released, I'd definitely be number one."

"Let's put the first thing aside for now, Xiaoya, you'll have to take this beating first."

Jing Hongchen's voice suddenly reached Xiao Hongchen's ears.

Xiao Hongchen looked over and saw that Jing Hongchen had somehow gotten hold of a wooden stick in her hand, which looked like it was meant to be used to hit him.

"Old Deng, what are you doing? What are you doing with that stick?"

“It’s nothing, laugh. What you said just now was very good. As your grandfather, I’m very happy. So, as a reward, I’ll let you go out with me alone so we can have a good chat.”

"Grandpa, you can't do this. I'll be needed for the competition in a few days."

"Don't worry, it's the same whether you're here or not."

"Grandpa, I don't want to let you win either. Your grandson won't be able to play and bring glory to the family."

"It's okay, it's enough that I have a dream to bring me glory."

And so, Xiao Hongchen, utterly despondent, was dragged out by Jing Hongchen.

[The ranking of the strongest has been completed. The next ranking will begin in three years.]

[Ranking of those who received awards this time.]

[First Place: Qian Renxue]

[The Other Side of Second Place]

[Third Place: Kong Deming]

[Fourth Place: A Legendary Stories]

[Fifth Place: Poison-Resistant]

[Sixth Place: Ni Ye]

[Seventh Place: Ye Xishui]

[Eighth Place: Long Xiaoyao]

[Ninth Place: Ye Yulin]

[10th Place: Moon]

[Eleventh Place: Zhongliwu]

[Rank 12: Mirror of Mortal World]

After that, the rankings disappeared completely, and now, a major upheaval is about to begin in the Douluo Continent.

The Shrek Academy members were also shocked. If this was the ranking, the Sun Moon Empire had three people stronger than Mu En, and the Poison Undying from the Body Sect had also come.

It was such an eventful time.

After the strange phenomenon disappeared and the stone tablet remained still, it returned to normal.

Over the next few days, the entire Royal Soul Master Team of the Sun Moon Empire spent their time in seclusion.

The five-day qualifying tournament concluded amidst a flurry of surprises and excitement.

Perhaps due to the Heavenly Ranking, it took two more days to conclude.

Although there were occasional mishaps during the competition, there were no major issues. The seeded teams that were expected to win the championship advanced smoothly with overwhelming force, and after a short rest, they will face a long round-robin tournament.

Unlike the preliminary rounds, where one team is randomly selected from over 130 teams for the team competition, the round-robin tournament divides all 67 qualifying teams into eight groups of eight to nine teams each. Each team in a group must play against all other teams in that group once.

There will be no eliminations in this match, but the next qualifying round will take place.

The competition format offers three options: team battles, individual matches, and a 2-2-3 format. Each group plays one round every two days, and it takes eight to nine rounds to determine the group rankings. Therefore, completing the round-robin tournament will take approximately two weeks. The top two teams with the most wins in each group advance to the round of 16 to officially begin their journey to the championship!
The night after the elimination round.

Just as Xia Die and Bolysia emerged from their meditation, there was a knock on the door.

"Teacher Yu Yu, what's the matter?"

Xia Die opened the door and found that it was Yu Yu, the teacher in charge of the group, who was knocking on the door.

"There's an auction at the Starlight Auction House tonight. Would you be interested in checking it out, Little Adie?" Yu Yu asked with a faint smile, his hands in his pockets.

"Teacher Yu, I'm not young anymore."

"At thirteen, she's still quite young..."

"Teacher Yu Yu".

"Alright, enough joking around, Ah Die. Let's get back to the main topic. Are you going to this auction?"

"auctions?"

"It's the Starry Sky Auction House of the Star Luo Empire. After all, the round-robin tournament starts tomorrow, and the Starry Sky Auction House is holding an auction tonight to replenish the supplies and equipment for the various teams. There will probably be a lot of people tonight. If you want to go, pack your things and come find me in the preparation meeting room later."

Yu Yu spoke gently to Xia Die.

He definitely had to go to the Starlight Auction House to see what good things were available. If he remembered correctly, the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife containing the Gold of Life in the original story was bought by the original owner at a low price during the Starlight Auction House auction.

But remarkably, he had previously intercepted the Spirit-Slaying Carving Blade, and now he had forged it into the divine weapon, the Sword of Life.

Xia Die went to her room to take a shower, and the faint fragrance emanating from her body was intoxicating.

I changed into some casual clothes and went to Meng Hongchen's room next door to see if she was going.

Since no one was there, Xia Die had to go to the preparatory meeting by herself.

In the meeting room, preparing for the battle.

When Xia Die and Bolysia arrived, they found everyone was already there.

Yu Yu was studying the major teams with a pen, while Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen were staring at the information of the players of the major teams that Yu Yu had spent a lot of money to hire someone to collect, as if they were looking for qualified opponents.

To be honest, the recovery speed is pretty fast, right, Xiao Hongchen?

Many of these are seeded teams for this year's competition; there are simply too many academies with Soul King and Soul Emperor potential. These are all academies under close observation, including Shrek Academy.

When Meng Hongchen saw Xia Die and Bolucia approaching, she pulled out two chairs and said with sparkling eyes, "Ah Die, Qianya, you're here. Come and sit down."

"Ah Die, come and sit here."

"Qiu'er, you..."

Meng Hongchen and Di Qiu'er locked eyes, and a hint of jealousy could be felt in their gazes.

Xiaodie:…………

Polycia: …………

"Meng, Qiu'er, it's just a position, is it really that big of a deal?"

"you shut up."

Seeing the murderous glares in Meng Hongchen and Di Qiu'er's eyes, Xiao Hongchen stopped trying to persuade them.

Xia Die shook her head helplessly. Was it really necessary?
Xia Die and Bolysia casually found a place to sit down, thus avoiding a chaotic scene.

"What are these red circles?"

"Hmm, what's with all these red circles?" Xia Die asked, puzzled, as she noticed the numerous documents on the table marked with red circles.

"Well, they are all rising stars of the Shrek Academy team. Keep a close eye on them, after all, they will be the main members of Shrek Academy in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Of course, there are also some extremely strong seeded academies in this year's competition."

A faint, sweet fragrance lingered around Meng Hongchen, like cherry blossoms coated in honey trembling in the spring breeze, its subtle scent soothing and refreshing. Her waterfall-like silver hair cascaded down, like moonlight-drenched silk, shimmering with a soft yet dazzling glow. Her exquisite face and slender figure were captivating.

She pulled the information sheets of each team member in front of Xia Die, her clear eyes reflecting Xia Die's beautiful face.

"Tang Lin, a twin martial soul genius, possessing the Blue Silver Emperor and the Heaven and Earth Blazing Hammer martial souls, a five-ring Soul King of both control and power attack types, a disciple of the Tang Sect, from... the Clear Sky Sect, the young master of the Clear Sky Sect?!"

As expected, you were right.

During his battle against the Wheel Spirit team, Tang Lin displayed the strength of a Soul King, even though he was suppressing his own power.

What he used appeared to others as Blue Silver Grass, but was actually Blue Silver Emperor.

According to the information displayed in the data, the system said that this Tang Lin is the masterpiece of Tang Shenwang's mechanical descent!
However, Tang San's three lives all ended in his death.

The purpose of this deus ex machina was likely because Tang Shenwang realized he hadn't entered the dog-training scheme he had meticulously prepared, so he used his "astounding" wisdom to perform a deus ex machina, fully mobilizing his subjective initiative to pull her into the dog-training scheme, or perhaps, having failed in his plot, he personally disposed of her, taking the initiative in his grand plan for ten thousand years...

But? As long as I don't say anything, no one will discover my identity. Besides, even if you descend to the mortal realm, you can conveniently become Polykes's food.

The deeper you think about it, the more chills you feel down your spine.

If I were Huo Qubing from the original story, who could outsmart him? The God King Tang, the enforcer of the divine realm, is terrifying indeed!
Now, she is known as Xia Die and Bolysia, blending into the vast majority of people on the continent. Finding her is simply a pipe dream.

Moreover, he possessed a wisp of the God of Death's divine consciousness.

Tang Shenwang, if you don't want the power of death to annihilate all the forces you've built into nothingness, then let Niu Tian and Titan find you. Of course, it won't do any good. They're only priests at best. If they dare to show themselves easily, Qian Renxue will notice them.

After all, Qian Renxue has a grudge against you.

Sending Niu Tian and Titan is just giving the Sun Moon Empire a reason.
